NP - Campagnolo 11 x 15 Magnesium Wheels OEM

Soon to be restored, a pair of OEM 11x15 Campagnolo Magnesium Wheels https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/150897872/original and not to be confused with the current remanufactured alloy wheels, these are in fact the early Mags! The back-spacing is just under 6" inches https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/150087776 and with that I'm hoping to stuff the wheels with rubber under my (extended/widened) steel fender flares.

My initial inspection revealed I have just about 12" from the inner fender well area out to the outer lip of the steel fender flare, see here https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/50337524 and here also https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/50337525, but after receiving the wheels and taking a width measurement https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/150897847 that number is just under 12 inches https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/150897847 from lip-to-lip https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/150897865. It appears that I will have to extend out even further my steel flares and that could be something I may not want to do at this point. Any ideas, aside from bending flat the steel flare outer lip? I cannot imagine milling down the center hub section of the Mag wheel https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/150897850 by about .25 inch, which will also affect the back-space distance. This is now a big dilemma...

Do you think these 11x15 wheels will fit??? https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/150087907 Drop me a line if you installed a set of 11x15 at the rear of the car. Thanks! ~
